I have now been out of Dentistry for longer than I practised.
Thanks to Dr Ronald Bryn John and his Medical Opinion (link at bottom).
I have no recollection of receipt of the Medical Opinion, but if I had I would have questioned some of his statements as they are blatant lies. If I had received it before I would have acted differently; spoke to Dr John and asked what on earth he was doing, called my Protection Society and taken their advice.
However, I found my copy in 2007 in a pile of divorce papers following a plumbing disaster in my house.
I have no idea why this was written in the first place as he has NEVER ever explained why.
Declaring a person mentally ill provides the perfect opportunity to not have to respond as the person is now the product of an ill mind and so does not have to be taken seriously.
A Medical Practitioner should act in the best interest of the patient: the guiding maxim being “First, do no harm.“
Attached to my copy was a compliment slip.

“I thought that you should know what I said so we’re not contradicting each other” An admission that he is not telling the truth/ has lied. Nowhere in the opinion is there a reference to hospitalisation or of a time scale. One week later from the date of writing I was fully retired and in hospital, having been told I would be sectioned if I did not agree to go by 09.00 the next day. I did not learn I was retired until mid-July or early August.
I was rebuilding my practice after a serious flood and also going through an acrimonious diverse from my ADULTEROUS wife. By his actions, Dr Ronald Bryn John caused the Perfect Storm of Events. I was losing my family and he made certain that I lost my career, my business and my Profession. I was due full and final settlement of the Insurance claim at the end of JULY but the hospitalisation was deemed “An uninformed change of circumstances” by the Insurance Company Legal Star and so they VOIDED settlement. I was a few weeks away from resolution but because HE DID NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING WITH ME prior to actioning, I lost everything almost overnight. My bank, Barclays, was originally on my side with large loans for equipment and a large running overdraft. My side of the bargain was to give monthly financial forecasts.
This soon changed when I had defaulted on my side of the bargain. I could not be contacted because of the forced hospitalisation and so closed all my accounts and started bankruptcy proceedings. I could have lost the house that I was living in which had been in my family for over 100 years, only my family had ever lived in it
He forced my retirement at 48, took over my divorce and gave my pension lump sum to Jeffrey Lock my divorce solicitor.
At no time did Dr RB John talk to me and explain his treatment plan. When I asked him, after my discharge, for an explanation he wrote that he was aggrieved that I was not grateful for all that he had done for me and I was in direct conflict with the advice that I should be retired. Documents exist to show that the last statement is untrue. He wrote, in my Medical Notes that it was not his responsibility to inform me of this.
I was not involved in ANY of this which as a self-employed sole trader I should have been, So I have NO idea why he decided, alone, to take over and destroy my life.
My 1st last day of service was 11/06/98 Copies of letters from NHS Pensions showing my 1st date of retirement was 12/06/98. I was retired on ill-health grounds the day of admission to Heath House Priory. My Pension lump sum was illegally passed to Jeffrey Lock of Llewellyn Jones Solicitor Neath to be used in the financial Settlement (and of course his fees).
If I had managed to avoid being sectioned and gone to work the next day then I would have been, both retired and not retired at the same time. Would I even have known about my pension lump sum being taken by Jeffrey Lock? I should not speak evil of the dead but his professionalism as a solicitor was extremely lacking, I found him an arrogant fool, sorry man.
What the hell would have happened?
But a letter from NHS Pensions dated 07/07/98 TWO DAYS BEFORE I WAS DISCHARGED said my retirement had not been accepted or rejected.
Dr John knew that his actions would destroy me. Because in paragraphs 5 and 7 of the Medical Opinion Dr Ronald Bryn John quotes me twice about his advice to stop work, and on both occasions, I refused “because of my precarious financial situation” Which explains why this document was constantly refused as evidence in 2 NHS Complaints because it clearly shows his intention.
I’m exhausted from living a lie
The Medical Opinion dated 04/06/98
Also thanks in no small part to my sister Dr Keatley E James and her husband retired Gynaecologist Dr Adwaita P Dhar. She said in 2009 that Dr John had protected their reputations and pensions following heinous acts by Dr Dhar and so she would not help me get to the truth as she would always protect Dr John as she never wanted the truth to be exposed..
Both have now had 20+ years of illegally preserved Reputations, with a full pension’
I have heard many times what these heinous acts may be regarding her husband Dr Adwaita P Dhar and female staff and patients whilst in his post as Gynaecologist in the old Neath General Hospital and also as a Doctor in the Community. ” Two community nurses told me privately when I was allowed to work about his “umm” behaviour and I advised them to report it to the Health Board and their Professional Bodies.
The latest was in January 2023
In effect my sister allowed Dr Ronald Bryn John to destroy me so it feels like I am doing the sentence for their crimes.
